TOOL FOR snTTrnewmnow-siiADE GEQRSQ I Applicationfiled" mi is, 1917; Sofia-1N0. 181,428;

To 'cql'l'wkom it may co'ncerm Be it known th' t- I, EDMUND Y. Prmran, a citizen oflthe- United States-, residing at Willits, in the county of Mendocino-and State ofCalifornia, have invented new and usefulv Improvements I Window-Sh'a'dei Hangers, of which the fol lowing is aspecification,

This'invention relates totools or holders for setting the brackets of a window: shade in proper position, being especially designed for those engaged in furnishing houses or for use wherever a large number of windows of the same size are to be fitted with shades.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple, economical and easily adjustable tool or holder of this nature.

One .form which my invention may assume is exemplified in the following descrip-' tion and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which-- Figure 1 shows a view of the device applied to a window.

Fig. 2 shows a detail view in perspective of one end of the holder.

Referring in detail to the accompanying drawing, the holder comprises telescopic and adjustable bars 10 and 11, each having at its outer end aclip 12 to receive temporarily a bracket 13, such as is used to support the roller of a window shade in place. Vertically extending gages 14: are carried adjustably on each of the bars near its outer end and provided with hooked-shaped ends 15 to fit over the horizontal board 16 of the window frame for the purpose of support mg the holder in place and gaging the position of the same vertically with respect to the window frame. I

. One of the bars 10 and 11 has a horizontally disposed gage member 17 adjustably mounted thereon and provided with a hooked-shaped end 18 to fit against the outer edge of one of the vertical boards 19 of the window frame for gaging thev position of the holder horizontally with respect to the frame. By adjusting the gages 1 k and 17 and the length of the holder so that the brackets 13, when in place thereon, occupy the desired position relative to the window frame, the parts may be locked in this position by means of set screws 20and thereafter any number of brackets may be quickly and easily set in their proper position. While the brackets are temporarily supported by the clips a screw or nail is passed I Specifica-tionof Letterslatentn in Tools for Setting P en dnn 9, 1.918.-,'

through them: toiholjd them in place. on the window frameaand the'holder is thenfire=- moved by releasing-the hooks 15'-'and:wmove ingthehOlder downwardly.. For this pun-s posethe hooks 15 a're hinged at2l to swing outwardly and a latch 221is-provided tohold;

them in operative position. The clips it will be noted are in the form of spring metal secured to the: bottom edge of! the bars l fl-iand ll and"extend upwardly at the ends: thereof so that the holder can be at. moved'from'the brackets by an outward movement. The deviceisexceedingly simple to eon struct' and is readily and easily adjustable. It insures a proper setting of the window shade hangers and is such that it can be used in connection with a great variety of window frames of different size and shape.

Various changes in the construction and arrangement of the several parts herein shown and described may be employed with out departing from the spirit of my invention as disclosed in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: v

1. A holder for setting window shade hangers comprising telescopic and adjustable bars, means for receiving-at their op been secured in place on the window frame,

and latches to retain the hooks in position.

2. A holder for setting window shade hangers comprising telescopic and adjustable bars, means for receiving at their opposite ends the brackets or hangers, hooks for suspending said bars from the top of the window frame, said hooks being adjustably connected to the bars and forming gages.

for positioning the same vertically relative to the window frame, and a member carried near one end of the holder in parallel relation with the bars and adjustable thereon for gaging the position of the holder horizontally with respect to the window frame.

3. In a tool for setting window shade brackets, a holder for detachably supporting said brackets, means whereby the brackets may be adjustably spaced in relation to each other by said holder, means whereby the holder may be set in proper vertical adjustment, and means whereby the holder may be set in predetermined horizontal relation to the window frame upon which the brackets are to be placed.

4. In a tool for setting window shade brackets, a horizontally disposed holder, bracket-receiving members at the opposite ends thereof, and a fixed stop connected with said holder whereby the holder may be set in predetermined horizontal relation to the side frame of the window.

5. In a tool for, setting window shade brackets, a. horizontally disposed bracket holder, means at the ends thereof by which shade brackets are supported, hooks by which said holder is suspended from the top of a window frame, and means incorporated in said hooks .wherebythe bar may have a vertical swinging motion in relation thereto.
